Wall Street looking west toward Trinity Church past the statue of George Washington on the steps of the Sub-Treasury building on May 14, 1884 when a brief panic was caused by the sudden failure of the Grant and Wood Bank. Despite a flurry of unusual activity the Panic was not serious and business soon returned to normal.
